Proteolytic stabilization of a spider venom peptide results in an orally active bioinsecticide

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Selective editing out of an insect gut protease cleavage site renders a spider‐derived insecticidal peptide active by ingestion by insect pests. Abstract BACKGROUND The toxin peptide U1‐AGTX‐Ta1b from the Hobo spider, Eratigena agrestis (Walckenaer, 1802), was studied to determine its potential to serve as a bioinsecticide.

Lethal effects of allyl isothiocyanate on the egg masses of flighted spongy moth complex Lymantria dispar japonica (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study showed that AITC substance was lethal effect to Lymantria dispar japonica egg mass, and our results show a significant decline in egg hatching rate with increasing AITC concentrations. Abstract BACKGROUND The flighted spongy moth complex (FSMC) lays egg masses not only on host plants but also various artificial structures, such as, cargo ...

Side effects of pesticides used in organic and conventional tomato crops on Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris, a parasitoid of Tuta absoluta

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals strong variability in the effects of eight tomato integrated pest management‐compatible pesticides on Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris, identifying harmful compounds such as spinosad and more selective ones such as sulfur and spiromesifen, depending on the exposure route.

Pollination‐related plant traits under environmental changes: Seasonal and daily mismatches produce temporal constraints

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...
